a TERRIBLE REVENGE Charles Smith, a
farmer in Orange Valley, New York, has
some fine cherry trees on his place. The
boys in the neighborhood have been annoy
ing him good deal lately by stealing cher
ries. Friday night ne loaded up his shot
gun aud laid for them. He had not been on
the watch long before ne saw boy up in 3
tree. He leveled the gun and blazed away
with both barrels. The boy fell to the
ground. The charge had taken effect in his
chest and head. Smith ran for assistance
when he saw what he had done and the boy
was taken to the Memorial Hospital. He
gave mis- name as Wm. BolaD, OF Orange
Valley. The physicians said he was very
badly hurt. Some OF the shot mad entered
his head and many were in his lungs. He
continued to sick yesterday ami last night
the doctors said he would die South Orange
police arrested Smith and locked aim up.
Public indignation is very strong against
him.

VACCINATION UNDER DFFICULTIEs.-
The Sultan of Turkey. il is said, has Just
had the ladies Of the seraglio vaccinated,
and We are told that the operation was at.
tended with difficulties which fortunately
are unknown in this country An Italian
physician who was employed to vaccinate
the ladies OF the harem was not permitted
to see the faces of his patients, from whom
he was separated by q screen. The opera
ton, ii is stated, was performed on the pa
tients arms, which were in turn thrust
through hole in the screen and on every
occasion of one arm being replaced by an
other, the physician was obliged to submit
tc his head being enveloped in shawl, to
prevent any chance Of his seeing the sub
ec;s of his operation. The circumstances
which permit the entrance of a man into
harem must be Of rare occurrance, and pro-
baby there is none under which he is
more welcome than when be comes to pre-
serve tho beauty OF tie inmates. Whether
the Sultan has learnt by experience the ne
cessitv for vaccination, or whether he is
guided Only by others, the fact remains that
female beauty is more indebted to Jenner's
discovery than TO any art TO which the sex
can have resort. Il has often been remark
ed that the portraits of ladies who were the
English court beauties of former times give
30 very exalted idea of the personal ap-
pearances which in those days merited ap.
probation, and that the originals only ex-
cited admiration from the fact that they
were among the few who escaped the dis
fgurement which attends an attack of un-
modified smallpox. However this may be,
we trust that The example which the Sui
tan has set Will have its effect in leading TO
the more general vaccination of his subjects.
There is nothing which more strongly i'm.
presses the traveller in the East than the
large proportion of Inhabitants who are
SCARED With smallpox.-LondOn Lancet.

they are presumptively stated correctly. The
contention of the Los Angeles fnancer is that
the vote cast for separation in 1860 is as
valid as il il had been cast in 1856: that the
consent of the State of California has been
given to the separation. no matter what may
nave been the underlying motives, and all that
is now necessary to set up a new State In tfe
south is the consent of Congress
1t is perhaps needless to state that tho asse.-
ton that consent given by the State to the
secession of five counties, under circumstances
which suggest disloyalty of the rankest kind,
twentyseven years ago. can now be revived IN
Congress, will not get many hackers The
notion that in all these years there was State
in condition of suspended animation in the
southern part of California is supremely ridicu-
1ous The Acknowledgement of California would
be crime against history. We have laid here
broad and deep the foundations of the Empire
State of the Pacific We expect California to be
to this side of the Republic what New York is
to the East. We want more than to keep
our southern feIlow-citizens in the bonds of
fraternal union. If they have any wrongs that
need redressing they need only appeal to the
great heart of California to secure justice.

CURIOUS BIT OF HISTORY.
Vote to Divide Califo rnia Shortly Before
the Rebellion.

A Vote to Divide CaIifo rnia Shortly Before
the Rebellion.
San francisco Bulletin.
R. NJ. Widney, president of the University
Bank, of Los Angeles, has dug up apiece of
California history which had passed out of the
recollection of most men, and proposes to use 1t
for novel purpose. The Legislature of 1859
passed al act, which was duly approved by the
Governor, giving the consent of the State of
California to the creation of new State or Tor
rltory out of group of the counties in the ex-
treme south, certain conditions which will
b epresently set forth. Tho counties specified
were San Luis Obispo. Santa Barbara, Los An
gees, San Bernardino, San Diego, and part of
Buena Vista. just what territory was covered
by Buena Vista is not at the moment very clear.
There was not then and there is not now any
county Of that name. According to the older
county. The new State or Territory was to be
called Colorado NAME by the way, afterward
appropriated by the Centennial Commonwealth
or by any other name, the act says, that may
be deemed meet and proper" The conhgura-
ton of the proposed State, if carried out would
have been the most singular in the United
States. Commencing at a point somewhat
south of Point San Martin, it ran due west to
the middle of the Coast range; thence south to
the northern boundary of Los Angeles; thence
along that northern boundary to the western
boundary of San Bernardino county. and thence
norrherly along that line to the eastern boundary
of the State. These lines reveal nondescript
figure, somewhat resembling loaf OF bread.
with big moutnful taken out of the center OF
it,. The Legislature which passed this extra
ordinary act was in complete sympathy with
the slave oligarchy. The probabilities are very
strong that in passing it it WAS only obeying the
orders of invisible power.
The object clearly was that ii in the conflict
which then impending all California could
not be secured for the Confederacy that was
soon to be ushered into existence. at least
foothold in the Fsouth might be set apart The
act provided that the Governor should issue a
proclamation at the next general election t1S60l
directing the voters of the counties named to
for n AGAINST r.. TerritOrv. and then went
on to declare that Tin case twO-tEirds of the
whole number of voters voting thereon shall vote
for a change of government, the consent here
by given shall be deemed consummated." Mr..
Widney AYERS that the vote was taken: that tho
requisite two-thirds vote was obtained; that the
vote was certified to tho Governor, who was
John G. Downey, and that he certified it as tho
States-Abraham Lincon-but that there the
matter ended. The facts OF the vote cannot be
verified By any data imm ediately At hand, but
